    Vantec USA NexStar CX 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure (NST-200S3-BK)

    • Brought new life to my old macbook hard drive
    • Used it for an old Macbook hard drive
    • My old Macbook hard drive fit fine in the enclosure
    • I used this enclosure for my original Macbook Pro internal hard drive after upgrading my Mac with a new drive and bigger drive
    • My MacBook Pro died and I didn't want to waste the HD, so I got
    • My 2010 Macbook Pro had been running a bit slow, and so I decided to upgrade the hard drive to a faster one with greater capacity
    • My old Macbook hard drive fit fine in the enclosure
    • I have had no problems using a single USB to microUSB cable (2M, good quality) with the unit rather than the dual USB to microUSB cable supplied with it
    • The case comes with its own Philips screwdriver for securing the drive inside the case as well as for the screws that hold the case itself together
    • USB 3.0 speeds appeared to work as she copied about 40 gigabytes of photos and music to her new laptop.
    • Not even going to return it, as it's not worth my time
    • It worked exactly as I wanted it to
    • While it's anyone's guess how long the SATA to USB controller will work on these, I would much rather have it to deal with than an integrated one on a very difficult-to-open WD Passport or similar
    • It fits great and works as it should.
    • Works exactly as I need it to, simple to put together and no instructions needed
    • I recommend connecting both as it gives enough current to power the hard drive properly
    • I totally recommend it as in market its twice the price what you get here on amazon.
    • Was expecting something cheap-o, but this is really nice
    • However, data transfers fail with I/O errors
    • Attractive design, plain and unobtrusive o
